High School (My Dreams Have Been Crushed!)

Anyway, you'll get a good education wherever you go as long as you work hard and regard your teachers with a healthy balance of respect and skepticism.

Well, from what my mom says and how I feel about that school, it seems like that will be my case too.

(If not, then the Darren Huckerby or Shaun Goater)

I have a bit more confidence as a musician now. On Friday I played my guitar in Literature and English class and all my friends loved my songs. My English teacher was surprised when I told him I haven't had any lessons yet.

GOD DAMNIT!!!!!

But I guess I'm spoiled, since we have good public schools around here. I've never thought about places where people opt to apply to private schools.

whoops. "For" should be taken out of there.

maybe if you're saving money by going here where you have a scholarship maybe you can persuade her to spring for some music lessons outside of school.

I just feel like I'll be able to actually get accepted to the College I want to go to if I go to the other high school. I feel like I'm saving money and throwing away my future.

I find it hard to believe your dream was simply to spend time in a particular school building - that isn't how dreams work. If your dream was to learn a lot about what you enjoy, to make friends who enjoy the same things and make the most of yourself, then your dream is definitely not crushed. That can happen anywhere. This was just a tiny detour. Happens all the time. Keeps you on your toes.

(BTW, getting pregnant or not shouldn't be left up to hoping about it. You can decide.)

Listen young lady... I understand it is hard to get away from your feeling but you need to see why you feel certain ways and see if they are justified.
There is a lot of hard work involved to place you in the school you don't want to go to... if you really don't want to go there then it can be arranged. I think it might be best because you will learn some valuable life lessons that a REALLY, REALLY expensive school you are whining about not going to will never be able to teach you. When your biggest complaint in life these days is that you may have missed Richard Butler swag his skinny ass at Slim's then I think you are doing pretty well, especially since your parents are at their wit's end working some very long hours in very out of the way places to put food on the table, music in your ear and give you a place to wash your butt.
Not everything is in the books or the programs. Your best teacher is life itself. Maybe you need to feel the sting true hardship brings to one's soul.

I got into the college you want to go to through public school. The "learning" I didn't get from them I got myself. Maybe you don't have a true hunger to get your dreams. If that is so, then neither the school you want to go to nor the school you are scheduled to go to are going to really help you. The problem is with you and therefore me. I can't change the way you feel but I do have some influence as to what school you attend. Like I said, if you really don't want to go to the school you are going to then I won't support your presence there because it is too much money to waste. The consequence you pay as a young woman is the San Francisco public school system.... and, to tell you the truth, it may not be that bad for you since it may be the best thing for you since your complaints these days are very silly.
The last thing I want tell you is this. If you don't want your dad to respond to your silliness in a public forum then don't put it out in a public forum. I shall see you when I get back to the States.

I wish this Roman stuff was real, it's amazing.

You cannot make up the dysfunctionality of the world spun backward by Aja, her mother and myself.

First of all, how'd you know I saw Richard Butler shake his skinny ass literally two feet away from me, and in my face??

Second, do you know why I almost missed that? I got in huge fight with my mom and then I began cutting myself. Don't worry I don't plan on ever doing it again. It hurts too much, especially when your mom says, "Don't do that. You'll ruin the knife."

Besides, my biggest problem now is getting over this twisted and fractured knee I got today.

Your mother is not known to be very witty.
